Is Procept BioRobotics (PRCT) a takeover target?
A leveraged buyout does not work for Procept BioRobotics on its latest figures: it has no positive EBITDA to borrow against (−$111M over the last 12 months, on revenue of $352M). Historically 5.6% of companies with its figures were bought within a year (1.11× the average).
Why a leveraged buyout does not fit
A leveraged buyout is paid for mostly with debt that the company's own cash flow repays. Procept BioRobotics' EBITDA over the last 12 months was −$111M on revenue of $352M, so there is nothing to lend against and nothing to repay a loan with: a buyer would have to pay almost entirely with its own money. That is the kind of deal another company — a strategic buyer that wants the products, the pipeline or the technology — makes, not a private-equity fund. The model therefore gives no buyout price.
What a takeover could cost
Takeovers in its sector paid a median premium of 35% over the share price before the deal (the middle half 22% to 45%), according to the 15 merger proxies and tender-offer responses on EDGAR that state a premium. At the median, Procept BioRobotics would cost about $24.84 a share, $1.4B for all its shares.
| Premium | % | Price a share | All shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low end (a quarter of deals paid less) | 22% | $22.45 | $1.3B |
| Median | 35% | $24.84 | $1.4B |
| High end (a quarter paid more) | 45% | $26.68 | $1.5B |
The odds, from history
Historically 5.6% of companies with its figures were bought within a year (1.11× the average). Its figures put it in decile 7 of 10 (10 = the most likely to be bought). The odds come from a model of every merger proxy, tender-offer response and going-private statement filed on EDGAR since 2011, set against each company's size, margins, debt, cash flow and growth the year before.
